Hormonal and lipid imbalances in the formation of myopic chorioretinal neovascularization in women

Purpose: to determine the role of hormonal and lipid imbalance in the formation of myopic chorioretinal neovascularization in women. Material and Methods. The frst clinical group includes the results of the study of patients with the active form of myopic chorioretinal neovascularization, the second - the results of the study of their paired eyes. The control groups were formed separately. Ophthalmologic and somatic status of all patients and people in the control groups were thoroughly examined. Results. An increase in the level of prolactin to 501.7±28.2 mlU/ml was established, in the control group to 272.9±33.4 mlU/ml, the level of follicle-stimulating hormone 13±0.1 mlU/ml, the control group 4,6±1.2 mlU/ml. The concentration of estradiol is reduced 35.2±3.1 pg/l, progesterone 2.8±0.1 nmol/l, compared to the control group 66.8±8.1 and 6.2±1.1 nmol/l respectively. An increase in the level of acute-phase proteins was revealed: fibrinogen 3.8 (14.0±0.5) and C-reactive protein 2 times (5.72±2.30) compared with the control group 3.6±0.5 and 2.5±0.7. Increased lipoprotein level (a) 50.2±1.2 g/l and ApoB/ApoA 0.6±0.1 compared with the control group 9.1±1.1 et 0.4±0.1 g/l. Conclusion. The fndings confrm the pathogenetic signifcance of systemic risk factors in the development of choroidal dysfunction and, as a
